5. Mary Calhoun Green, who was the fifth child of John Green and Jane Kerr and was named for her maternal grandmother Mary Calhoun Kerr, was born 16 November 1797 in Pendleton District, South Carolina. This date of birth is inscribed on her tombstone.[1] Mary is buried with her parents and siblings Lucinda and John Ewing Green in Tannehill Historical State Park in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. As a previous posting notes, these Green family members were originally buried in a family cemetery near the Green homeplace in Bibb County, about a mile southeast of Woodstock in Bibb County. The graves were then moved at some point to Tannehill Historical State Park, about five miles away across the Bibb-Tuscaloosa County line.
